It's raven time!

One of the best things about winter is that it's raven time. This is the season when ravens hang around town. They can supplement their diets with easy pickings from human stuff like parking lots and road kill. As far as I can tell, they can eat all the french fries and other junk food they want without any ill effects. That's good, because we can watch their antics all winter long. Here are a few photos of ravens in urban Alaska.

As the weather warms up and wild food is easier to find, ravens spend less time in town. That makes this time of year bittersweet. I know I'll miss the ravens when they're scarce again.
